Hi all
I've just seen on the OBD11 App that the S3 sport layout has just been added.
My questions are
Can this work on an 2018 A3 with virtual cockpit? If so how do I update my dashboard software version from a lower one that is required?
Apologies if this has been asked already
Thanks

Hi I am also interested in this topic. I have A3FL 2017 with VC 8V0920790, HW version H13. Current software version is 0045 which seems to be quite old. OBD app shows that newer version 0109 exists. According to the information I found in the Internet, it is recommended to update VC to the newest version before enabling sport layout. I am not brave enough to enable it on the software version I have currently, just to check what will happen I have spent some time to find some files with SW update for my VC, but no luck. Appreciate any help regarding this topic from you Guys. Thanks!

Also curious if this would even work on the A3 E-tron hybrid version. I'm genuinely not brave enough to try it out as I'm afraid I might lose all the EV capabilities even if I were to restore it back. 8V0920794A hardware number, 0068 Software version (0069 apparently is available)

Thank you for your update. It looks really nice. I haven't dared yet to activate it in my VC, and unfortunately my SW version is much older that yours. I am trying to find software update first, but with no luck. I was wondering if it would be possible to download update after buying one hour/day erWin subscription. However I have never used this system before, so I afraid that maybe I could find there software updates that could be used with the tools like Odis. However for me this is not an option, as I need VC software update version that could be done from SD card.

You don't see any problems with working on this version of the software? I have the same firmware as you and I'm thinking of upgrading.

RPM'S aren't perfectly matched only Sport Layout? Default view is ok? Errors that may be visible after modification disappear forever after deletion?

Any updates on this one? Mine has SW 047 and HW 14, does it needs update or it's ok to install S Layout?

Okay, so as I got from Customer Support, it’s needed to upgrade to the latest version. By the way the latest A3 Virtual Cockpit version is SW69, not SW300+, so if someone has it - feel free to upgrade.

hypedpriest, great that it works for you Is your car diesel or petrol? Could you share screenshot from the OBD11 app for Dashboard control unit? I am planning to update SW version in mine from 0045 to 0069. Interesting thing is that you mentioned that you got confirmation from the support, that the most recent version of the SW for A3 VC is 0069. OBD11 app though shows me that for me (VC 8V0920790) there is the version 0109. I do not know how this version checking works, but maybe there are some other variants of my VC like 8V0920790A, 8V0920790B, 8V0920790C (maybe for S or RS cars) and for one of them version 0109 exists. Maybe OBD11 app while checking version availability ignores (A/B/C), matches only 8V0920790 and this is why I see version 0109, even if it is not compatible with my VC.

Just a quick update from me. As I mentioned, I was going to do an update from SW0045 to SW0069. However when hypedpriest confirmed that the app worked fine for his VC (HW14 and SW0047), then I thought that there cannot be significant difference between SW 0047 and 0045. I decided to run the app and it worked also for my VC 8V0920790 (HW13, SW0045). Actually I did not observe any problems. The only thing that could be better is tachometer scale. It is up to 8k RPM when I have a diesel so originally it is up to 6k RPM. However red area is highlighted correctly and also real RPM indication works fine (no issue with 300RPM below real value that is mentioned in the app description). Both, oil temperature and boost indicators seem to show the real values.

Hello guys, regarding this topic for Sport Layout for Audi A3. I have an Audi A3 2018 1.5 TFSI FL Version with this Virtual Cockpit : Hardware Version H16 , Hardware Number 8V0920790A , Software Version 0066 . Do you think I can use OBDeleven to activate the Sport Layout without problems ? Thank you in advance and have a nice day

If it worked for the Virtual Cockpits with older hardware and software versions, I do not see a reason why it wouldn't work for your VC version. However there is always a chance that something might go wrong, so you decide.

Hello, Thank you it worked also for me, no problems for now. I just have a question that I need help with : How do I remove the writing "S3" in the center and change which information is displayed on the right side of the Sport Layout ? (attached image)
Thanks in advance!

Great that it worked for you I am not sure you can do something with "S3" writing. This is only my guess. I think this is just a part of speedometer graphics, not a separate element that can be replaced. At least I have not seen in the Internet photos of A3 VC with sport layout with "A3" writing in this place. Regarding information presented in the right side of the speedometer, having active "Onboard computer" on the left side (first tab), press the right side (marked with red rectangle) of the button number "6" in the attached image. This is what I did to change the information about current date/time to the information about current fuel consumption.

Hello and thank you for the support ! Really appreciated and detailed 👍 Now I know how to change the infos on the right. And also now I will try to add other infos on the VC. Regarding the removal of the writing "S3" I hope that someone on this forum got the solution and can help me.
Maybe the solution is in the long coding of the control unit dashboard 17 like for example changing derivative_2 or variant_2
Have a nice day Cheers

HI, Thank you for your precious answer but I have never used the word ' replace' but I simply try to remove the S3 writing with nothing in its place. Please tell me where I used the word 'replace' as I don't see it. If, on the other hand, you invented it to make that incredible joke on me, I'll try to laugh at your cheap irony. I'll try. And no, I don't even care about having the RS3 lettering. Thanks again for your contribution Have a nice day You're wanting to remove the S3 and replace it with what exactly? Pac-Man?, Super Mario Bros.? or something like below?

I have a 2017 A3 Quattro, Cabrio, gasoline, Canadian spec. with the same VC configuration as otzi, VC 8V0920790, HW version H13, SW version 0045. I too was able to install this app but with one problem. The boost pressure gauge shows up but does not indicate in either Sport or Classic layout. Oil temperature works fine. Does any know whether there is a way using long coding to have the boost display read the output from the intake manifold pressure sensor. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
It fixed it’s self. After a few days, boost gauge started indicating. Great app. Easy to switch between Sport and Classic.

For everyone that has done the update, my concern is it costs 200 and it's free to turn off, does that mean that every time I wanna switch to Classic mode I have to turn it off on OBDEleven and then pay 200 credits if I wanna turn it On again or is there a way to switch between modes on the VC itself without the App

Hi k100 After activating sport layout, you can switch back and forth between Classic and Sport layouts just using menu options in your VC. No need to use Deactivation (free) and Activation (200 credits) apps for this. You would need to use Dectivation (free) app if you would like to revert your VC to its original state, i.e. remove Sport Layout functionality from it.
You can take a look here:

I don't know how to tag people so I'm gonna reply by quoting, thank you so much for the quick reply. I have the same exact VC you have (HW13, SW0045), so after you got the Layout everything worked fine and you can also switch between them no problem? Great to hear!

k100, honestly speaking, since I have switched to the Sport Layout I did not switch back to the Classic one, but for sure I saw the option to do that in my VC I would not expect any problems with switching Sport <--> Classic, but if you want, I can check it for you, probably tomorrow, as today I do not plan any drives.

Ok I know how to tag now @ otzi, yes if you could confirm for me that you can switch between modes before I buy the credits and try it myself, I asked support before finding this website and thread if it would work and they just got back to me saying it won't but if it worked for you should probably be fine on my end

I would also like to know if it's possible to deactivate the Sport Layout option temporarily after buying it and reactivate if again without having to pay another 200 credits. For example, if I am taking my A3 to a dealer for a service (or any other reason), I would prefer to remove it and re-activate it when I get the car back to avoid awkward questions. I would hope it recorded the fact you have paid for it and can reactivate without paying again! I haven't activated the sport layout yet, I am running H19 and SW0108. Can anyone running the same versions confirm it all works OK? Thanks

I have the exact same Hardware / Software (H13 0045) but I bought the sport display activation from a different brand and I always get the error : Function only possible with Virtual Cockpit execution. Sequence aborted
This company doesn't reply to any emails or offers any support..
So now I'm not sure if I should buy the OBDeleven or if there is another problem with my car/ STG.
Any help would be appreciated!!
